...Virtue, morality, and religion. This is the armor, my friend, and this alone that renders us invincible. These are the tactics we should study. If we lose these, we are conquered, fallen indeed...
Patrick Henry (1736-1799) US Founding Father

Lincoln Chaffee, who got bounced out of his Senate seat for not being liberal enough, is said to be making one of his final anti-American stances to be a "block" on John Bolton as our official ambassador to the United Nations.

We should have beaten Rhode Island to the punch and thrown his punk ass out years ago.

Lincoln Chaffee is unworthy of the title Senator. I hope someone "canes" him in the chamber.

We can't enforce important laws we already have, but now we're enacting stupid laws we don't need.

Keg lawsHelmut LawsSeatbelt LawsBanning of Trans-Fatty FoodState Liquor StoresThe taking of private land for the "good of all”Banning the Ten CommandmentsCalling opinion “hate speech”Banning Internet GamblingOrdering stupid “precautions” on products such a Drano telling people not to drink itNo Smoking Laws

What’s next? A law stating that Lap Dances cannot be performed in a lap? Er, forget it.

Wonder where the groupthink that produces this crap starts?

Kids are not allowed to be kids. They can't have Christmas, Halloween, play tag or dodge ball, kiss a girl on the cheek or play "war" nor receive an education they need. Instead, students get mandated classes that have nothing to do with preparing students to be productive citizens.

The kids can't read, can't add and can't grow up to be productive citizens, but they know what we, as a country, need to be to become a "better" society of the world.

This last election will produce more of these "feelgood" laws in our Nanny State.

Steubenville, Ohio becomes the fourth US community that has voted on and rejected photo radar.

An overwhelming majority of voters in Steubenville, Ohio rejected the city's speed camera program yesterday in a referendum on whether the city ordinance authorizing the program should stand. With all precincts reporting, 76.2 percent of voters said "no."

The program began last year issuing nearly 7000 tickets worth $85 each tomotorists driving as little as 5 MPH over the speed limit. It would havegenerated nearly $600,000 in revenue until Jefferson County Court of CommonPleas Judge David E. Henderson struck down the city ordinance as illegal in March. Because the city is bound by contract to continue the services of German camera operator Traffipax, regardless of the program's legality, it defied the judge's order and reinstated an essentially identical ordinance to continue issuing citations.

Tuesday's vote puts an end to the traffic cameras and serves as a victory for attorney Gary Stern who won a class action lawsuit to return the money thathad been illegally collected from motorists. He also gathered enough signaturesto put the speed camera question to a vote of the people. The public has nevervoted in favor of photo enforcement. Between 1991 and 1997, voters turned out inBatavia, Illinois; Peoria, Arizona and Anchorage, Alaska to reject photoradar.

John Boehner is the logical choice for Minority Leader if you want a true Conservative who will not deviate from his beliefs, knows the system, how to make it work and is trusted by Conservatives and Liberals. He is trusted because he is honest.

"I have decided to campaign for Republican Leader and ask my colleagues fortheir support. Yesterday's outcome gives Republicans two very distinct choices.We can either ignore this setback and its lessons, and face the prospect ofpermanent minority status. Or we can pull together as a team and renew ourcommitment to ideas and reform."I'm running for Republican Leader because Ibelieve we must confront these lessons directly, renew our commitment to theprinciples that brought us to majority in 1994, and articulate a powerful andpositive vision for the future based on our core principles. In doing so, we canrecover not just our majority, but the energy and promise of a vibrant,long-term majority."Since my colleagues elected me Majority Leader in February,House Republicans have worked hard to re-engage in the battle against porkbarrel spending by instituting comprehensive earmark reform, worked hard toreestablish our commitment to fiscal discipline, and worked hard to champion taxrelief policies to prevent a massive Democrat tax hike. Republicans are stillthe party of smaller, less costly, and more accountable government. Once werenew our commitment to reform, I'm confident we will return to the majority."

I have worked with Congressman Boehner's staff on a few projects. I have met and spoken with the Congressman in one-on-one situations, without staff, without an agenda and I have found him to be straight forward, honest and, I find this important, have a sense of humor. There are so many self important prigs in Congress. They all share one thing, they have no sense of humor. Oh, they also share their hate.

Boehner shares our goals, knows how to obtain them and will work incrediably hard to make them the reality.
